“What are wire hangers doing in the closet when I told you no wire hangers ever!” While that might not be a direct quote from Joan Crawford herself, it is the classic line from a film depicting her raising her adopted daughter, Christine. Not every celeb mom is a total nut case like Joan Crawford, but some celebrities have some interesting rules that they have set down for the children.

Some celeb parents are very strict with their kids, but they do that to prevent their children from becoming privileged nightmares. Others want to prevent their children from eating anything that is remotely tasty, but they do it all in the name of good health.

Obviously, everyone is allowed to parent as they see fit and according to their belief system, but some people’s parenting makes the rest of the population scratch their heads and wonder why they would do that. Being professionally successful certainly gives them a unique take on life which they wish to share with their children. While the general population may think that forbidding their children to eat bread is extreme, celebrities can forbid their children because they are their children and it might be more in line with their dietary belief. If the parent has found success in doing it, then clearly that is the way they would want to raise their children.

15 Those Dang Duggars

A whole book can be written about the Duggars and the rules that they abide by. In fact, they have written a book about their parenting style. Some of the rules that the Duggars have is that they are not allowed to be alone in a room with a member of the opposite sex.

They are not allowed to give front hugs to someone of the opposite sex unless that person is their spouse. They give side hugs instead. The children are not allowed to date. Instead, the Duggar children court and enter into a courtship with a member of the opposite sex.

Their dates are supervised by an older sibling to make sure no physical contact takes place. The daughters are not allowed to wear pants. Instead, they were skirts or dresses. When a daughter marries, she can have permission from her husband to wear pants. These are just a few.

14 Corporal Punishment—Candace Cameron Bure

Much like the Duggar family, Candace Cameron has been pretty vocal about her parenting tactics. Despite what appears to be a normal, healthy family on the outside, her children—Natasha, Maksim and Lev—have been brought up in a household that believes physical punishment results in rewarding behaviors.

While she’s received a lot of backlash for her beliefs—as has big brother Kirk Cameron—Candace has held steady with her roots. Little is known about how the acting duo was raised, but their strong Christian roots do make some people suspect that their tendency to lean toward physical reprimands, like the Pearl method—which has resulted in the deaths of at least three children—started during their own childhoods. Candace penned a book about her parenting experiences and beliefs. While she received a lot of hate for it, more people are on board with her beliefs than most would expect.

13 No Processed Food–Madonna

While Madonna might seem to live a pretty carefree lifestyle and she seems to do some pretty crazy things on stage, that is definitely not her mom personality. In her home, she runs a tight ship. Her children are only allowed to consume organic food. There is nothing processed in her house. The kids are not allowed to have candy, sweets and ice cream. None of that exists in their house.

She has also banned her children from watching television for the same reason they aren’t allowed to eat candy–it is bad for the body. Madonna wants her children to have a healthy body and mind and filling it with junk food and mindless television certainly won’t nurture her children’s growing minds. She also requires that her children keep their rooms clean. Anything not put away will magically disappear.

12 Strict Bed Time–Kate Winslet

The Titanic actress has a warm spirit and plays loving characters on-screen, but she isn’t afraid to play the bad cop at home. Her children have a very strict bedtime routine. If they are not in bed by 7:30 p.m., then they will be punished. Their punishment generally entails not being allowed to watch television or have some sort of sweet treat the following day.

That may seem harsh, but Winslet believes that children need an adequate night’s sleep in order to function, develop and grow. She also does not allow her children to jump on their bed. She views this activity as dangerous and could lead to her children being seriously injured, which is why the privilege is revoked. When her children do not listen to her, she has no problem doling out consequences.

11 Limited TV–Obamas

It is understandable why Michelle and Barack Obama want their two daughters, Sasha and Malia, to avoid time spent in front of the television. Watching too much television is bad for development, which is why they are only allowed to watch six hours a week.

Misbehavior is not tolerated. If the girls are seen for being rude or disrespectful, they lose their television privileges for the week. Michelle also monitors what their daughters do on the internet in order to ensure they aren’t doing anything unacceptable.

If the girls do watch a movie during the week, it has to be educational. For extra good behavior, the kids are allowed to watch a bit more television. However, Michelle makes sure this is a rare treat because she wants her daughters to be focused on their studies.

10 Limiting Time On The Internet–Bill Gates

It is pretty common knowledge now that Bill Gates, one of the richest men alive, will not be leaving his three children his vast fortune. Instead, all of his money will be given away. Gates believes that his children should work for their living and not rely on their father’s wealth.

He also does not allow his children to surf the internet for fun and, when they do get on the internet, his children are being monitored. He has also gone on record saying he didn’t think it was appropriate for small kids to have cell phones, especially smartphones. Unlimited access to the internet and to social media sites isn’t good for developing minds, according to Gates.

Bill also limits the amount of time they are allowed to watch television. He believes that restricting it will allow his children to grow into strong, independent adults.

9 No Carbs–Gwyneth Paltrow

She may be one of the most judgmental moms in Hollywood. Gwyneth Paltrow clearly has numerous rules for her children in order to maintain her standard of perfection. Of all the rules she has, what her children eat is one of the big ones. Her children are not allowed to consume processed foods, and anyone who has read their website will know that she is definitely not a fan of it. In fact, if her children eat any junk food, it may result in punishment.

Her homemade meals are 100 percent gluten-free, which means that the kids are not eating pasta, bread or anything with wheat in it. Birthday parties at the Paltrow house don’t sound like they would much fun since cake would be off the menu. The kids are given a very low-carb diet.

8 Walking Away From Tantrums–Snooki

Things have changed quite a bit for Snooki since her days on the Jersey Shore. If only she followed the advice she follows now when trying to handle unruly people. Snooki is not afraid to walk away from her child when they are having a full meltdown. She does not entertain their drama. If she had done that while she was on her reality TV show, well, the show might have been drastically different.

The mother of two now has little time to handle or indulge bad behavior. By giving attention to the bad behavior, Snooki believes that she is only encouraging her children to act out again. That’s not to say that her children don’t throw tantrums now that she has chosen to step back, but the duration, she feels, is much shorter.

7 Having No Rules–Jada And Will Smith

Will and Jada Smith are a Hollywood power couple. The pair is raising their children in a very alternative way from the norm. They do not believe in punishing their children. They taught their children from the time that they were very young that they were responsible for their lives.

Their parenting philosophy is they can do anything they want as long as they can defend it as being the right thing to do for them. By raising their children this way, it allows them to question why they do what they do. If they are not happy with what they choose to do, then they are free to change it.

The Smiths believe that by allowing their children to make mistakes, they will learn what is right and what is wrong. They don’t believe that punishing their kids is a way that they will learn from their mistakes.

6 Homeschooling–Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie adopted half of her brood from various countries around the world and gave birth to her other half in other countries. She is a big believer in being a global citizen, is a UN Goodwill Ambassador, and travels around the world visiting refugee camps.

Naturally, she chose to parent with that ideology in mind. She travels with her children all over the world as she wants her children to be global citizens. She chooses to homeschool her children in order to keep up with the jet-setting lifestyle.

Traveling and seeing the world is a great way for her children to have a well-rounded and whole education. It also allows Jolie to tailor their education to fit that child and learn about their country of origin. No word on just how much her kids dig it, though.

5 Strict As A Mother–Kelly Ripa

Kelly Ripa and her husband don’t care if they are popular with their kids or not. They don’t view parenthood as a popularity contest. When their kids misbehave, there will be consequences to their actions. Now that their children are older, it generally means taking back their smartphones and cutting the internet. That may seem harsh, but they don’t mess around.

The couple runs a tight ship at their home. Their hope in raising their kids in a very rigid environment is that they will be able to thrive outside of the home and will be able to respect authority. All of their children are doing pretty well thus far, so clearly something they are doing is working. In being more authoritative parents, it doesn’t mean that they are not allowed to have fun as the family often takes family trips together.

4 Not Sheltering Kids–Sarah Michelle Gellar

Sarah Michelle Gellar and her husband Freddie Prinze Jr. have been together for over a decade, which is nearly a half century in Hollywood years. The pair has made some beautiful children. While the couple has shifted gears from acting to writing cookbooks and hosting a cooking show, they still are very busy.

Their busy schedule does not get in their way of being effective parents. They openly encourage their kids not to pursue the career path they took. If they do choose to do that, they don’t shelter them from the reality of working in Hollywood. Now that Gellar has a website that is geared toward children cooking, she actively encourages her children to help take part in the process. She believes it will help create confidence in them.

3 Tell The Truth–Drew Barrymore

Honesty is always the best policy, or so the saying goes. That is the motto and philosophy that Drew Barrymore took towards parenting. Regardless of what parenting technique she applies, it will be 180 degrees different from how she was raised. Barrymore’s parents were never present when she was growing up and she was legally emancipated before she was 18.

She will be present, both physically and mentally, for her daughters. Telling the truth to them and being honest is one way to do that. She doesn’t want to keep secrets from her children. It isn’t necessarily a bad policy to have with children, but sometimes it is harder in practice than in theory. Although she never said she would be brutally honest with her children, so maybe she will be able to protect them from some things.

2 No iPad –Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez raises her children in the same style that she was raised. She credits growing up in a Hispanic household to her strict upbringing. Lopez is known for being a more authoritative parent when it comes to parenting her twins. If they misbehave, they lose their iPad privileges.

While the children are fairly young, it can be a harsh punishment. She also keeps a close eye on her children throughout the week, even when she is away on work. How the children behave during the week will determine what the children will be allowed to do over the weekend. If they have been misbehaving during the week, they will not be allowed certain privileges during the weekend. If the children don’t perform all the activities, then they will not be allowed to play on their iPad.

1 Nude Portraits–Christina Aguilera

This isn’t so much of a rule as it is a fact. Most people never, ever want to see their parents naked. It is right up there next to listening to Nickelback on repeat. Christina Aguilera has several nude portraits of herself hanging throughout her house. She has no intention of taking them down, even as her son grows older. She wants her son to grow up seeing a woman who is comfortable with her sexuality.

Aguilera also hopes that it will help positively change his view of women. Sure, it might do that, but it also might be embarrassing when he gets older and his friends come over to visit. Who knows? Maybe his friends will be happy to see their friend’s mom naked.
